Article Synopsis
- The study examined the oral health status and dental service utilization among 400 village volunteers in Andhra Pradesh, India, highlighting significant needs for dental care.
- Findings showed that 18% of participants had never visited a dentist, with 94% needing dental treatment, indicating widespread oral health issues such as dental caries and periodontal conditions.
- Conclusions suggest the necessity for targeted interventions to address the poor oral health and unmet treatment needs in this community.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare self-confidence levels and clinical performance scores of dental students trained through traditional versus comprehensive methods in India.
- Students trained with the comprehensive method reported higher self-confidence (3.41) compared to those using the traditional method (3.07), with statistical significance (p <0.05).
- However, while traditional training led to a slightly higher median clinical performance score (2.88) than comprehensive training (2.44), the difference wasn’t statistically significant (p = 0.460), suggesting the potential benefits of combining both training approaches.
Background: Peri-cervical dentin (PCD) and its reinforcement play a crucial role in the fracture resistance of root canal-treated teeth.
Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of dual-cure, nano-hybrid, and short-fiber reinforced composite resins restored PCD with conventional hybrid composite (CHC) resin restored endodontically treated mandibular premolars.
Settings And Design: Academic, study.
